Combining her unique lyrical style with punchy bass lines and shimmering guitars, Tina Boonstra‘s new EP is pure alt-pop joy inspired by Regina Spektor and Sam Fender. Unrestrained and unapologetically earnest, it’s a raw and refreshing experience. A clear progression of Tina’s writing ability without leaving behind the fragility and honesty of earlier releases.
From the quirky synth bass lines in “City of Doubt” to the vocal breakdown in “More Than Your Head”—it’s easy to categorize this work as upbeat indie alt-pop, but there’s a depth woven into the story of this EP inviting the listener into the story of a community of friends wrestling with love, fear and self-doubt.
“I wrote this EP for me and my friends, it’s a little bit of our story reflected back to us in song. We went to school and university and became the educated people the world told us we should be, and yet, not one of us has a clue how to navigate our fears, doubts and desires. But we’re learning together, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.” —Tina Boonstra
